An internee is a person who has been locked up during a war, or for political reasons, without a trial. The state puts them away because of who they are, where they come from, or what it fears they might do — not because a court has found them guilty of a crime. The people held this way are internees; the practice is internment; the place is often an internment camp. It is a formal, legal-sounding noun. Kind, everyday English might just say “people who were locked up” or “people held in camps”. History class meets it with civilian internees in wartime. Though actually, do not mix this with intern. An intern (IN-turn) is a at a hospital or a company. An internee is the person being held. They look like cousins on the page; they are not the same life. The -ee ending here is the same idea as in employee or : the person the action happens to.
